Re: 6" rear drop

So far mine is a 5" drop (2"blocks/3"springs). I had a cheap exhaust bent up to exit in front of the tire. There were a couple tricky bends but there is no arm interference.

Re: 6" rear drop

Check my build thread in signature- lots of good pics- my C10's goes all the way out to the bumper with a 7"-ish drop.
